September is coming to a close, and Halloween shall soon be upon us! Take the time now to plan out what you might want to dress up as. Don't just purchase those cheap costumes sold at Rite Aid or Walgreens the day before. This is my first Halloween and I believe the obsessive enthusiasm is justified. I feel like I might explode out of sheer excitement over it.

Do not fret my fellow Halloween enthusiasts! Don't let being a broke college student discourage you from taking part in this year's festivities. Here's a list of 12 costumes that you might consider absolutely perfect for your strict budget.

Because it is not fun when you dress up as someone and nobody can tell that you have - Fall Out Boy

1. Uncle Jack- Kingsman: Secret Service

Cut away from those cliché James Bond costumes and go for something a bit more Colin Firth-y. All you need to do is add a black umbrella, slick back you hair, and put on a pair of black frame glasses. (If you don't have a black suit, then you can settle for a black blazer and neatly pressed slacks. Extra creativity points if you wear sneakers with that look.)

2. Carrie White- Carrie

One pink dress, some fake blood and you are good to go. Just make sure that it's a dress you aren't afraid of parting with. Fake blood can stain.

3. Minions- Despicable Me

Everyone who knows me understands that I put this on here with a very heavy heart.

Unfortunately, minions are a very easy and popular costume to go with. All you need is a pair of overalls, black boots, black gloves, a long sleeved yellow T-shirt or hoodie, and a pair of goggles that are fairly easy to fashion. Do not forget to spout gibberish interspersed with the word banana.

4. Sherlock Holmes- Sherlock

Make sure you wear a tweed coat with a blue scarf and a classic Sherlock hat, and treat everyone around you like they are oblivious and unintelligent buffoons. You could add a pipe too if you're feeling extra dapper.

5.Daenerys Targaryen- Game of Thrones

Wear a long, white dress and team it with some fierce jewelry that involves steel or horns. If you don’t have white blonde hair, buy a wig and braid it. Don’t forget to place toy dragons on your shoulders and whisper creepily under your breath "Turn us away and we will burn you first."

6. Gordon Ramsay- Hell's Kitchen

Go to a Williams-Sonoma or something and get yourself a chef's coat, minus the hat. Then carry around a dish washing towel and throw it over your shoulder. You'll want to slap the top of your hand against your palm while you yell "Chop chop!" or "This risotto looks like utter sh*t!" As long as you utilize every swear word in the English language, you should be fine.

7. Chucky- Child’s play

You will need overalls, one colorful tee shirt, doll make up, red wig and a baseball bat. Act like you think terrorizing people is fun. (Have you ever noticed how most killers never have blood-stained clothes? It's so weird. I feel like they have multiple versions of the same outfit to change into after a fresh kill, but maybe they use loads of detergent with high heat.)

8. Nick Fury- Marvel Cinematic Universe

Nick Fury makes for a very easy costume that will make you effortlessly badass. You must wear black pants, a black dress shirt, a long black jacket, a pair of black gloves and an eye patch.

9. Orange is the new Black

You will needs an Orange or tan prison garb, a white shirt and no makeup (unless you're Sophia). This is something the whole squad could do. Make sure you do your hair in accordance with the hairstyle of the character you are impersonating.

10. Ron Swanson- Parks and Recreation

You need a sweater that has a collar, a belt and pleated sacks. Remember to comb our hair into a bouffant. You will also need a fake mustache, and a surly expression. Call everyone “son,” talk about your love for meat and whiskey, and roll your eyes a lot. Being extremely condescending is also a nice addition.

11. Wednesday from the Addams family

Wear a long-sleeved black dress, black tights, and a white collared shirt. Try to make yourself as pale as possible using powder. Wear your hair in two plaits. Make snarky comments at people and refuse to smile.

(Actually no. Wednesday is mine. Don't copy me. She's taken.)

12. Bedsheet ghost

What people fail to realize is that pulling off this American classic isn't as easy as draping a white bedsheet over your head and cutting out eye-holes. You also need to get the sound effects right. You can also paint your face black and wear black gloves and shoes to add to the "spookiness." (Okay this costume should be treated primarily as a joke, but it works when you're on a right budget. It also doubles as a candy carrying basket!)

Yes, yes, Halloween is still a far way off, but it's never too late to plan and assemble a costume!
